3.1.3. Trypanoxyuris kemuimae n. sp. ( Fig. 3 View Fig )
Description based on 17 specimens. Buccal aperture delimited by three lips, dorsal and left ventral lip are bilobulated; right ventral lip elongated; lobes in the left ventral lip asymmetrical with upper lobe larger than lower lobe ( Fig. 3 View Fig ).
Females (n = 10): Lips show discrete lateral indentations in the upper border. Lateral alae double crested ( Fig. 3 View Fig ). Measurements are given in Table 2 View Table 2 .
Males (n = 7). Measurements are given in Table 3. 3.1.3.1. Taxonomic summary View Table 3 . Type-host: A. seniculus (Linneus, 1766) , red howler monkey. Site of infection: Not determined (samples were obtained from faeces).
Type-locality: San Juan del Carare , Santander Department, Colombia (06̊ 43 N, 74̊ 09′W; 150 m. a.s.l.) . Type material: Holotype: CNHE: No 11214, paratypes CNHE: No. 11215. No of individuals: 17/99 (17.2%) of the recovered specimens of Trypanoxyuris belong to this species.
Etymology: The specific epithet derives from the Bora dialect for howler monkey “kemuime ”.
3.1.3.2. Remarks. This species is distinguished from T. seunimii n. sp. and T. kotudoi n. sp. by the absence of notches in the lips; however, it is morphologically similar to T. minutus ( Fig. 4 View Fig ), which can be found in mixed infections in red howler monkeys. The main feature to discriminate between these species is the elongated shape of the right ventral lip in T. kemuimae n. sp., rather than a more circular shape of this lip showed by T. minutus ( Fig. 4 View Fig ). Caudal structures among males are similar, as well as egg size and shape, making these characters not useful for discriminating among species.
